Luis Briseño-Roa talks about his career journey from a PhD in Chemistry to his current work at Ipsen as Head of Translational Rare Diseases and Neurosciences

L’origine de l’effet « madeleine de Proust » ne peut pas être expliquée exclusivement par des arguments d’anatomie du système nerveux et du cerveau.

Summary: ZTF-30 represses BMP signaling during both larval development and dauer morphogenesis, driving the essential structural and cuticle remodeling required for C. elegans diapause.

It is with great affection and sadness that Somerville College marks the passing of Dame Esther Rantzen (1959, English), honorary fellow of Somerville College, whose life and work embodied our College...

The Telegraph published an article titled, “How having a disability became cool." This article shores up the government narrative that rising rates of disability are being driven, not by the ongoing a...

Stanford Health Care delivers the highest levels of care and compassion. SHC treats cancer, heart disease, brain disorders, primary care issues, and many more.

A study published by Public Health Scotland finds that the HPV vaccine is "highly effective".

Famous guests pick someone they love or admire... or both

Eric Topol is a prominent cardiologist known for his research into deploying AI and other technologies to improve healthcare. He considers himself a Demis Hassabis superfan, and when I spoke to him, h...

Letter to the Editor

Neurons face unique challenges in maintaining protein homeostasis due to their tortuous morphology and extended processes. Proteolytic organelles are typically transported retrogradely towards their s...

A high-resolution developmental transcriptional atlas of the Drosophila melanogaster nerve cord identifies a shared transcriptional code that records neuronal birth order and organizes neuronal d...

Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that mediate cellular responses to environmental cues. Although cilia disassemble and reassemble upon cell cycle entry and exit, respectively, in dividin...

Touch perception depends not only on neurons but also on active signaling from glia. Using the C. elegans nose touch mechanosensory system, Logan et al. show that glial release of serotonin in response to mechanical stimulation enables neuronal activation and tunes touch sensitivity, with additional feedback signaling refining sensory output.

Functional characterization of pathogenic CaV1.1 mutants reveals pathological role of depolarization-induced calcium release in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility.

Homelessness among neurodivergent people isn’t just about housing, it reflects repeated failures across support systems.
